In the past six years our school has grown from a one form to a two form entry school. We have had six state of the art classrooms built to provide for our extra children. The academic results for 2019 were some of the best the school has had for some years (above national in all phases). Unfortunately, these improved results arrived after our June Ofsted inspection where, due to historic data, the overall grade for the school was requires improvement. Much of our work was judged as good, and the report praises many aspects of our work, including Behaviour, Personal Development and Welfare and Leadership and Management. We are working very hard to ensure this category is reversed at the next inspection.
I would draw your attention to the sheet within the pack which outlines the requirements of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 and the relevant document required, if you are invited for interview.
I think we have the best children in all of Leeds. They are keen to learn, well behaved and they really enjoy coming to school. Our parents and carers value education and support the school brilliantly. We are a happy, successful and forward-thinking school set in a community on the outskirts of Castleford. We are able to use the local area and amazing countryside around us, to bring the curriculum to life and make learning meaningful to children.
You need to know whether the school “feels right” for you before you apply, and where possible a visit is the best way to do that. We want the best candidates for our Class Teachers, inspirational people who can use current teaching strategies to engage our hardworking children in learning.
As Headteacher, this is my ninth year at Allerton Bywater, a school that strives to achieve high results. We are not complacent though, and are continually seeking to improve outcomes for our children.
Allerton Bywater Primary School is part of The Brigshaw Learning Partnership Multi Academy Trust. The Trust is made up of a community of local schools who work together to support all of our children achieve their best in learning and in life. Other schools in the BLP are Kippax Ash Tree Primary School, Kippax North Primary School, Kippax Greenfield Primary School, Swillington Primary School, Methley Primary School and Brigshaw High School. Our staff, pupils and families benefit from a wide range of opportunities developed by the BLP.
